. This fails and he dies. However, now there are two universes, the second of which is based off of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon universe.
. This fails, and now he shares a body with a guy named Walter. (Worship is currently in control, however, but he's better now. Ish.)
. This fails, but instead of dying, they proceed to lurk in shadows.
. This fails, and he is sealed away.
up again. Meanwhile, so does a robot named Coda, the trio of Badniks from before, and several other villains, making it a callback to (mostly) all above events, which is where we left off.
* No. I sayeth that thou must See it to Believe it.
(Depends. You got enough cool swords for each of the mass produced copies?)
* Why, if I couldst, I wouldst! But, you forgeth: It is mine Firste Time in the Light Worlde! I hath no Idea wherst the Entranceth to Castle Towne, my Currente Residenceth, is!
State your reasoning for attack and we may go easy on you.
...State your reasoning for attack and I may go easy on you.
Great! The two of us shall join you on this que-
Erm, give us a moment.
(What are you even doing!? We have OTHER things to worry about than this!)
(Like what? Not only was the Crystal Eye we were trying to protect the wrong one, but the one we were supposed to protect is shattered by Mighty and unusable, not to mention the fact that King II's out of the picture now.)
(Bu-)
(And even if someone else decides to revive Beta Devil- or, hell, if Beta Devil finds a way to revive himself- who cares? We've defeated him, what, 3, 4 times now? He's basically a non-threat at this point.)
(But what about th-)
(And honestly? With this whole ordeal about Zalgo fighting the Omni-King, we probably won't have any Darksides to fight- and we especially won't need to worry about those Elemental Orbs anytime soon.)
(And even if we were to get involved... What would we even do? Spectate? This is the FIRST adventure in forever that DOESN'T involve an Omniverse-destroying threat. Our first break that, hopefully, will be an ACTUAL break instead of one that lasts a few posts before being dragged into a new major threat.)
(...What would you rather do? A risk-filled adventure that we might not even have any sort of major impact in- or any real impact at ALL, for that matter-...)
(...Or an actual fun adventure where the importance lies in the journey rather than the goal or destination?)
(...Well... When you put it like that...)
(...Alright. Count me in!)
(Great! Let's do it!)
Great news! I, Eta Cosmic, the great hero of the stars (and my nearly-as-great ally, Delta Paradox) shall accompany you on your grand journey!
Why didn't you catch me? I thought everyone knew to catch a flying, laughing, cheerful skull if it was mercilessly blasted their way!
Oh...and there comes the blaster! *heh heh heh*
*muffled speech*
You probably didn't hear what I said did you? In any case, gonna cut to the chase. Skull, me, now. Er, wait. Okay, here's a better way of putting it.
Hand me the skull and no one has to lose theirs.
Cool Lancer
[So...Kraken and Lich have yet to arrive...does that mean?]{flmae}
Well...while Lich is probably underground because, you know, Earth Orb, knowing Kraken, he's probably thinking ladies first and waiting for an whole week before coming here. It was just like with that one meeting before we traveled to the future.
You mean the one where he was standing by the door for a full hour because he thought no one else was there?
Precisely.
We still need the two here and since Kraken, being Kraken, is gonna make his rescue as difficult as a moving orb can make it, Lich is our next stop.
But where would we even look for him?
Hmm...If I locate a suitable-
...I didn't do that this time.
Are you alright?
It was...strange. It was like...a clear picture but a cross could be seen if you squinted the right way. At the very least, I recognize the place.
Where?
Down by some old lake. I bet I can beat you there.
As if!
* Haha! I welcome thou to the Team, my Friendes! Now our Epick Quest to Return to the Darke Worlde can beginneth!
* Truthe be told, I am unsureth if, at this Pointe in Time, there art any accessible Darke Worldes besideth Castle Towne... but it matters not! Even if it is small, it is still Magnifick!
* Eithere Routeth, our Firste Ordere of Business is to make Contacte with one of the two Lightneres who visiteth us regularly.
* Thou two art Lightners as well, correct? Native to this Moderne Environment? Wouldst thou perchance happeneth to possess the Magick Effigie known as a Cellulare Phoneth?
Bribes aside, I do think "Gremlin" sounds kind of dumb, so Guardsman it is. Were you planning on making it a special model or mass produced?
Are you sure you'd rather not meet up with your brothers and sisters first?
I'm sure. I can't afford getting any of them in the crossfires of what might be coming next. Besides, this next lead will definitely put us on track to Bagura's plans.
Hnn. Suit yourself. But I have to ask... is this really the most reliable place to go to for answers?
Trust me. He's worked with Bagura in the past. Not only that, but take a listen to the intercom we have planted on the area.
...
What does it look like, genius!? I'm resting and enjoyin' the sweet relaxation of a non-angry sun!
But-- but--
But what!? I never said it had to be right AFTER getting rid of Shake King!
...Ughhh.
The hunt's still on, Waluigi. And we're GOING to make some sweet, sweet, fortunes!
Then what the hey are they four still doing here!?
...Let's face it: We got pounded by Shake King. The crazy kook broke my legs and my arms, you goon!
I dunno about you three, but WARIO feels entitled to HIS fair share of R&R.
...
...
Ya know? Waluigi thinks Wario has a point.
Time to kick back, and reeeeela--
(I swear, if Waluigi tried teaching the Pokemon how to cook...)
*OOF!*
(!)
(...)
(...)
(...)
(...)
Nnn...
Hmph. I didn't expect it to be this easy.
This isn't over. We still need that information. Getting it out of someone as stubborn as HIM is a day's work.
(Ugh... that... voice...)
All 'a this can be stopped with a little bit 'a cash! Don't tell me you Bomber punks would rather live in a wasteland then pony up a few gold coins! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Eh!? Says who--
Ngh! Why, I oughta...
Oh? Looks like that purple-bean was right! You'd show, after all!
...Then you're also one to mess with me.
Wario! You'll answer for your meddlesome scheming!
*kaff*... Ow... W-what the hell did Wario do to cause this?...
(Gh, Dammit... If only I had the answer.)
Ah... what the hell do you want from me, anyway!?
You know what we want! There's no playing dumb with us! Not after your reputation of stealing, cheating, and lying!
For the last time, I... most likely... have no idea what you're talkin' about!
...So why don't you scram like the punks you probably are?
(...Wario...)
I told you we'd have to do this the hard way.
Fine by me. I've been itching for a little action, to be frank.
I'll handle Wario himself. Keep his three friends at bay, in the meantime.
Tch. Where do you get off, pawning the small fry off on me?
(Small fry!?)
(*Bewildered and slightly upset roar*)
!?
You'll get your turn next time, Max. But this... this is personal.
....Fine. But don't expect me not to butt in if you end up getting your hands full.
Thanks!
You... I'll show you guys not to piss off a legend!
...Legend, huh?
Let me know when they arrive.
(He's....!)
Ngh... but that means!--
It means you're in trouble, mister! And I'm not going to take things easy on you!
WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
When will your current wealth be enough for you!? Does your glaring greed know no bounds!?
So what if I'm rich! Since then, Wario's cleaned up his entire act!
Liar!
OW!
Give it up, already! You can't defeat me in a bomb-on-bomb match!
Ngh... Bull! No one beats Wario! I'm-a-number one!
I know all about your nefarious plans! And we've come here to stop them!
Ngh... oh, no you don't...!
What in...?
WAHAHAHAHAHAH! No one beats Wa--
WAAAAAH! FIRE, FIRE! THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEING PLAYED FOR A COMEDIC MOMENT, BUT I CAN LITERALLY FEEL THE TISSUES UNDER MY SKIN ON FIRE!
(He.. set himself on fire? Is he really that stupid, or is this part of his plan?)
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
(Oh, crap! He's headed right at--)
*RAOOAOOOOR!!!* (WARIO!)
I don't think so. I won't allow you to interfere in White's business.
PETEY!
!!!
Grh...
...
Da--
That's what you get for messing with Waluigi's pals! Oh, yea--
Pathetic.
!!!!!
Hnh... I knew I was right. You three really are small fry.
....
!!?...
.......*ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!*
Rrrrgh!
WAH!
...
!!!!!!!!!
*OOF!*
If you won't shove off, then I'll make you!
Have you--
--Had enough? Or will I really have to teach you a lesson!?
Trust me, pipsqueak... *pant*, *pant...* I'M the only one who does any teaching! Speaking of, here's your first lesson....
...A LESSON IN HOW INFERIOR YOU ARE!
...So you've gotten stronger. It's too bad that I've done the same!
Damn you... how many times will I have to tell you I'm innocent before you believe me!?
...None...
After you confess everything you're guilty of, that is!
(He copied my Waft Rocket!)
If you think you'll be able to accuse me of somethin' I didn't do and get away with it, you've got another thing comin'!
Urgh...
Serves him right.
...
Now, it's time for the three of them to leave! Wario could be in danger!
*ROAAAAAAAAAARRR!* (You don't think Wario's strong enough to beat that other guy on his own?)
...It's a tossup. Wario's gotten really strong in order to fight Shake King... but at the same time... Waluigi's not sure if that was enough.
?
Don't tell Wario Waluigi said this, but he's not sure if Wario could keep up with him for long... ...or even at all.
...*ROAAAAR.* (....We have to help him.)
Exactly! Let's-a go!

!?
Hahahahahahahahahahah! Utterly priceless! You really thought that would be enough to keep me down!?
Wh... how...
I'll commend you all on that last attack. Maybe if I was like you three, I would've been down by the count.
...But you're sorrowly mistaken if you think a simple back-and-forth combo would be enough to take me out.
Once I'm through with you three, you'll wish White was here. Because he's the only one who would've been able to stop me from doing this.
Aah... WAH!
